Theta Network

<p>In a landmark move, Theta Labs, the leading decentralized video delivery network, is partnering with the beloved 90’s children’s game POG. The partnership aims to breathe new life into the vintage game by introducing digital collectibles to appeal to both millennials and Generation Z players who recall the nostalgic joy of playing the game.</p><h2 id="header-0">POG: The Game of Yesteryears</h2><p>POG was originally known as the Milk Caps game, but it grew immensely popular under the name POG, an acronym for Pineapple, Orange, and Guaver. This children’s collectible game once boasted a player base of 165 million, raking in massive weekly revenues according to historical data.</p><p>Despite its enormous success, POG’s appeal faded over the past two decades. Today, the company seeks to spark nostalgia and engage the millennials and GenZ demographics who spent their childhoods engrossed in the game. The game has been rebranded as POG Digital in this latest endeavor, and in collaboration with Theta Labs, the team hopes to offer digital collectibles based on the beloved game to its ardent fans.</p><h2 id="header-1">The Advent of POGCHAIN on Theta Network</h2><p>In an official announcement, Theta Labs and POG declared their collaboration to create POGCHAIN, a dedicated subchain on the <a href="https://www.thetatoken.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Theta Network</a>. POGCHAIN is set to feature TNT20 tokens and <a href="https://blockchainreporter.net/nft/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NFT (Non-Fungible Token)</a> digital collectibles within the Theta Metachain environment.</p><p>These unique digital collectibles will be exclusively available through the Theta’s patented POG Collector platform. The digital memorabilia aims to combine both physical and virtual experiences, providing an immersive gaming experience for the players.</p><h2 id="header-2">A United Vision for the Future</h2><p>Kyler Frisbee, CEO of POG Digital, shared his excitement about the partnership: “POG has always focused on fostering connections through fun competition and engaging art collection.
